Toxic Avenger Series Episode 5
Body By Junko

Fortunately, the sickly mop boy can fight back after receiving a 2025 Toxic Avenger makeover. Will his new green muscles and talent for pissing acid be enough to stop the corrupt CEO’s mob goons and a monstercore band managed by maniac Elijah Wood? And is Green Room star Macon Blair the right director to sell this unhealthy Troma byproduct to a mainstream audience? Donate and Find Out Now!
